If you want to have great sex in midlife but feel like your relationship is lacking the lust and passion it used to have in your 20s, maybe it’s because you’re compromising.
The first time I heard Dr. Alexandra Stockwell, MD say,
“if you want to have a bland, passion-less, companionship with your partner, compromise.”
Dr. Alexandra Stockwell, MD
I thought, wait, what? That’s what I’ve heard all my life…a successful marriage is based on compromise.
While that may be true when it comes to doing the dishes and choosing where to vacation. It tells you nothing about how to have a successful AND passionate marriage or partnership with great sex.
We’re rounding out season 2 of the Savor Food and Body Podcast with the first (of hopefully many) conversations about sex, intimacy, body image, and intimate relationships.
Known as “The Intimacy Doctor,” Alexandra Stockwell, MD is an Intimate Marriage Expert who coaches couples to build beautiful, long-lasting, passionate relationships. She is the bestselling author of “Uncompromising Intimacy” and host of The Intimate Marriage Podcast.
For over 20 years Dr. Stockwell has shown couples how to bring pleasure and purpose into all aspects of life. From the daily grind of to-do lists to intimate communication and ecstatic experiences in the bedroom.
A wife of 26 years and a mother of 4, Dr. Alexandra believes the key to passionate intimacy isn’t compromising. It’s being unwilling to compromise. When both people feel free to be themselves, the relationship becomes juicy, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.
Dr. Alexandra has been featured in the Huffington Post, Rolling Stone, USAToday, Cosmopolitan, Business Insider, thrive global, mind body green, FOX NEWS NYC, and Disruptors Magazine recently named her one of “30 Inspiring Women to Watch in 2022.”
